‘99 Cent’ 100 Most Influential Pictures Recreation. 

We recreated this picture in Sainsbury’s by going to the top of the shop and getting this overview picture. This is how we interpreted Andreas Gursky’s picture, we wanted to capture as much of the shop as possible but we were obviously limited as to what you could do, therefore this was the safest, easiest way to get the picture. When editing this, I tried to add  more vintage colouring, as seen in the original picture as it was taken in 1999.

 

In the Style of David La Chapelle

This picture was slightly harder to recreate, however, I believe that the setting in which we chose to take this picture can sort of resemble David Lachapelle’s artistic and fun style. The original picture was quite bland, therefore, while editing I tried to make it as colourful and funky looking as possible in order to achieve something similar to Lachapelle. The choice of colouring represents fashion/artistic photography well. I used colours such as blue and purple to create the main tint.

In the Style of Vivian Maier

In this picture, we tried to resemble Maier’s photography by taking a picture in Fareham High Street of a random passer-by with the architecture in background. When editing, we made the picture black and white to resemble Maier’s vintage style and the time her pictures were taken in.

In the Style of Gregory Crewson

In the recreation of Gregory Crewson’s picture, we took a more cinematic approach by making the picture look darker and sombre. The dark tones bring out Crewson’s cinematic styles, however when editing, we tried to make even darker tones to achieve his cinematic effect. We also took a more artistic approach by the way that the model posed in the picture, instead of posing regularly.

In the Style of Ansel Adams

This picture was easier to get as it was just a simple landscape picture. When editing, I made it black and white and lowered the brightness to match Adam’s style which made the picture more effective.

In the Style of David Bailey 

In this picture, we recreated Bailey’s portraiture style of photography. We made the picture black and white to resemble the 60’s style. We got a picture of the model smiling which represents Bailey’s happy atmosphere of his photos.

In the Style of Mario Testino 

In this picture, similar to Bailey’s style, we took another portrait style picture. To recreate the fashion based theme, we used a pink tint and used different colours on my face to add more vibrancy and creativity to the atmosphere of the picture, instead of the picture being in the original style it was in, if we did not edit it this way, the picture would not look anything like Testino’s style.

In the Style of Don McCullin

McCullin used to take pictures during the war period however his photography heavily involved poverty/street photography. Therefore when we were in the High Street we took this picture of a homeless person to portray the reality of poverty. While editing, I made the picture was in black and white to resemble McCullin’s style.

White Balance

In this picture, we focused on the cool tones of the area we were in, then when editing we made it even cooler by adding blue tones.

Creative Use of Shutter Speed

In this picture, a fast shutter speed was used to capture the movement of the pigeon’s flying away. I also adjusted the brightness and saturation to make the picture brighter and more colourful.

Creative Use of Aperture 

In this picture, we used a really high aperture in order to gain this type of brightness. However, in Photoshop we edited it even more in order to make it look like the model had no head, which made the picture even more unique.

Creative Freedom

For the last picture, we had a choice of taking pictures in whichever way we wished. Therefore, when I saw this puddle, I thought it would look quite creative if I took a picture of my reflection in it. When editing, i tried to make the picture brighter and bluer in order to get this type of colouring.
